FOREWORD AND DEDICATION
Freshmen, through this staff the Citadel
welcomes you. We hope that as a cadet each
of you will not only uphold the traditions and
honor of dur college, but also make an honest
endeavor to improve the standards in every
phase of cadet life already established by the
men who have gone before you. The measure
of the Citadel Spirit, cherished by every alum-
nus and cadet is what each cadet puts into
whatever he is doing, whether work or recrea-
tion, and to what extent he cooperates with
the faculty and his fellow cadets. If, in these
pages, we have been able to give you an idea
of cadet life and activities, if we have pre-
pared a handbook which will be useful to you,
if we have in a small way given you a start
toward becoming a true Citadel man and early
acquiring the Bull Dog Spirit, we will not
feel that our efforts have been wasted.
Old men, ]n welcoming you back to the Cita-
del, we trust that you come prepared to con-
duct yourselves as true Citadel men. May
you realize that on the shoulders of upper-
classmen and especially s'eniors rests the im-
portant responsibility of leading the Corps,
and moulding the morale at the Citadel. We
hope that you will find this little book not
only a useful article in everyday life but also
a constant reminder of your duties and obli-
gations as a cadet.
To Captain D. S. McAlister, the "Y" Hand-
book of 1928-1929 is dedicated. The staff feels
that Capt. McAlister deserves this honor not
only because he is a man of sterling character,
but also because through his efforts ,the at-
tractiveness of the social and especially the
athletic activities of The Citadel has increased
perceptibly. He graduated from The Citadel
in 1924. After being an instructor for two
years in the Physics Department, he was
during the year 1926-1927, Registrar and
Director of Cadet Affairs. Last year on account

f the many responsibilities of the latter office,
ie devoted his enitre time to the direction of
adet activities. Because he was recently a
adet himself, he knows the needs and wishes
f the Corps, and even more, he has the wel-
are and growth of the Citadel at heart.
MARKS OF A CADET
There are many things which brand a man
s a Citadel man after he has been at the
Jitadel for any length of time. There are also
lany small things which each cadet should
bserve in their relations to each other, and
iany things which should be avoided. A cadet
tiould always hold himself in an erect posi-
. on such as is required of a good soldier, and
e should always keep his uniform in good con-
ition lest he have a slouchy appearance.
ladets should speak of each other as cadets
nd not as boys or men. Chewing gum, horse
lay, and gamboling while in public places re-
ect discredit upon the Citadel. Above all
lings, cadets should remember that diversion
com the rules which stamp a man a gentleman
eflect, not upon the cadet himself to any
armful extent, but upon the uniform and the
ihool which his uniform represents.

"HAPPINESS"
"Happiness is like a crystal,
Fair and exquisite and clear;
Broken into a million pieces.
Scattered, scattered, far and near.
Now and then, along life's pathway,
Lo, some shining fragments fall,
But there are so many pieces,
No one ever finds them all.
"You may find a bit of beauty.
On an honest share of wealth,
While another just beside you
Gathers honor, love or health.
Vain to choose or grasp unduly:
Broken is the perfect ball,
And there are so many pieces,
No one ever finds them all.
"Yet the wise, as on they journey,
Treasure every fragment clear ;
Fit them as they may together,
Imaging the perfect sphere,
Learning even to be thankful.
Though their share of it is small,
For it has so many pieces-
No one ever finds them all."

JAMES MORRISON LELAND
James Morrison Leland, the son of Mrs. E.
L. Leland, was born in McClellanville, S. C,
November 25, 1896. No events of any import-
ance occurred during the youth of "J. M."
Like most children of that day he attended the
elementary schools and then entered the high
school. In 1915 he was graduated from the
McClellanville High School. Before entering
an institution of higher learning, "J. M."
decided to spend a year at the Patterson In-
dustrial School, at Legerwood, N. C.
In the fall of 1916, "J. M." entered the
freshman class at Clemson College. His col-
lege career was interrupted in his junior year
by the War. He was in service at Camp
Gordon, and consequently only attended Clem-
son for five months during his junior year.
However he was able to make up the work
los/t and was graduated with his class in 1920.
After leaving Clemson, he taught school for a
year at Patterson Industrial School. However,
feeling convinced that he should devote his
life to religious workd he decided to enter the
"Y" graduate school at Nashville, Tennessee.
lie spent two years there and took courses at
Vanderbilt University at the same time. In
June, 1923, he received his Master's Degree
from the "Y" school and also one from Van-
derbilt.
Mr. Leland's early youth did not pass with-
out being touched by romance. While he was
attending Vanderbilt, he met and fell in love
with Miss Helen P'atton, of Nashville, also a
student at Vanderbilt and a member of the
Phi Beta Kappa honorary fraternity. They
were married in June 1924, two weeks after
Miss Patton's graduation. Mr. and Mrs.
Leland have two children, Edward Patton
Leland, and "J. M. Jr."
THE PALMETTO 7
In the fall of 1923, Mr. Leland succeeded
Charles S. Nesbitt as general secretary of the
Citadel Y. M. C. A. Since that time his con-
nection with The Citadel has been unbroken.
By his willingness to aid cadets at all times
in any manner, and by his evident and zeal-
ous s»pirit of cooperation with cadets, "Zeke",
as he has come to be known, has won a place
in the hearts of the members of the corps of
cadets.
Cadets, when you are on leave, patronizze the
concerns whose names you see in this book as
advertisers. They have made this little book
possible by their generous help, and in turn
should be patronized to the fullest extent by
you. They are friends to you and the Cita-
del, so give them your support in return. The
handbook staff wishes to thank these concerns
for their help. We appreciate your generosity
more than we can express.

THE YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN
ASSOCIATION
Brief Sketch of History
The Young Men's Christian Association,
like all great organizations had its origin in
one man. Sir George Williams of London,
England. He was a poor lad, who worked in
a drapery establishment in the city of London,
but who found time to speak a word for his*
Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Feeling the
deep need for daily prayer and spiritual up-
lift, he called together a number of his com-
panions, and each morning they held a
prayer meeting in an upper room of that
establishment. Their group kept growing,
and soon they had quite a following. From
this group grew what is today known as the
foremost organization for the carrying of the
Gospel of Jesus Christ to young men through-
out the world.
The Sfcudent Young Men's Christian As-
sociation of which we are a part, is one of
the many branches of this great organiza-
tion, and it works for the uplift and welfare
of the young men in college throughout the
world. Its membership runs into the thou-
sands, and other Associations are being
formed every year. Most associations have
10 THE PALMETTO
secretaries to head up the work, but the
students.' of the college are the chief promot-
ers arid workers in the associations. They
are student organizations, and it is the duty
and privilege of every student to back them
in the best way possible.
OBJECT
1. ^o lead students to faith in God through
Jesus Christ.
2. To lead them into membership and ser-
vice in the Christian church.
3. To promote their growth in Christian
faith and character, especially through the
study of the Bible and daily prayer.
4,. To influence them to devote them-
selves in united effort with all Christians to
making the Will of Christ effective in hu-
man society and extending the Kingdom of
God throughout the world.
MEMBERSHIP
Every student of The Citadel is at matri-
culation an associate member of the Young
Men's Christian Association. Thus, each man
should lend his utmost effort towards; the
building up fo a greater and stronger organi-
zation, showing his interest by helping in
every way he can to carry on the work, and
not hindering it. According to the constitu-
tion of the International Y. M. C. A., the
active members consist of those students? who
are members of Evangelical churches and who
are alone allowed to vote and hold office.
R. D. WARD
President Y. M. C. A.
THE PALMETTO 11
SCOPE OF WORK
What is the Y. M. C. A. at The Citadel and
for what purpose does it exist? It is a live,
always active organization, made up of every
Cadet in school, existing for the purpose of
serving the corps as a whole as well as in-
dividually, not only in religious matters, but
in every way possible. It makes every effort
in its power to carry out the great aim. "A
clean mind in a sound body." Don't get the
idea that he Y is a puritanical, inhuman kind
of an organization. It is just the opposite, a
young man's association in every respect ; and
there is much fun as well as help in it for
you, if you will just take part.
The Y staff is? made up of some of the best
type and most representative men of the
school. They are always glad to serve you,
and take great pleasure in helping you out of
any kind of a tight place. So bring your
wrinkles to them and let them iron them out
for you. Likewise, the Y secretary will be
more than a friend to you, and is always
looking for an opportunity to be of service.
The Y holds? special service on Sunday
night. There are also many other meetings
at other times. There are always good speak-
ers, and often good song services and if you've
never gotten to-gether with a bunch of men
in a service like this, you've certainly missed
yomething. Interesting slides and moving
pictures are often shown. On the rifle range
these pictures are particularly enjoyed. Ef-
forts are also made to give those men who
do not go out for the major sports an oppor-
tunity to get some exercise and fun. Thus
different games' are promised by the secretary
in the evenings after classes. These things are
for all the cadets, so get in the habit of tak-
ing part in them, and make the Y even big-
ger and better.
12 THE PALMETTO
THE SUPREME GIFT.
If I would endow my son or my daughter
with but one supreme gift, should that be
riches ? Nay, riches will take wings and fly
away. Should it be power? Power too often
corrupts and enslaves its possessor. Should it
be beauty of person or grace of manner? Theste
are things which perish with the years. Should
it be intellect? This is good, but it is not
the best. My one supreme gift, more precioua
than money or power, more enduring than
beauty, more satisfying and serviceable than
genius, would be a deep sense of duty, a love
of it, a faith in it which wofctld lead my child
to give himself to it with joy and enthusiasm,
and find in it an exceeding great reward. —

SUNDAY NIGHT RELIGIOUS SERVICE
Every Sunday night right after supper the
Y has a religious service which is always* at-
tended by many of the cadets. This meeting
usually consists of a song service and a good
talk by someone, who is* engaged by the secre-
tary. Sometimes, however, some society or
organization from the city comes out and puts
on a very interesting program for the cadets.
But whatveer may be the program, these
services are always interesting and enjoyable.
Don't let anything keep you away from them,
for much good may be obtained from every
single one. Whatever it may cost you in other
respects, the spirit and higher ideals which
will become yours for the attendance of such
services will more than make up the deficit.
So be sure to get the habit of going from the
very rfist. You will find these services just
the thing with which to end a week-end of
pleasures. Moreover, you will find that by
starting the coming week of classes and study-
ing in this way, you will feel more disposed
to do your work ,and can accomplish more no
matter what you undertake.
MORNING WATCH
Every athlete will tell you that he who
practices most is better able to kep up the
race. So with the life of a Christian ; he who
prays most, lives closer to Christ and is bet-
ter able to overcome the barriers' and win the
race of life. So be sure to get in the prayer
group nearest your company, and every morn-
ing just after reveille meet with this group,
and devote just a few minutes to the worship
of God. If you start the day off this way, you
cannot go wrong for the remaining twenty-
three hours and fifty-nine minutes

BLUE RIDGE.
Blue Ridge, in the "Land of the Sky", is
the name of the "Y" conference held every
year near Blue Ridge, N. C. Here about three
or fofur hundred students from the ten south-
ern states meet for ten days' to discuss prob-
lems of college life, to hear lectures by eminent
speakers, and to enjoy a general outing that is
very inviting after nine months of hard study.
The scenery around Blue Ridge is noted for
its beauty ; and there the unchanging sound
of flowing water, the whispering of the trees,
and the coolness and purity of the mountain
breezes, together create an atmosphere that is
peaceful, restful, and ideal fo_r worship.
At this conference the mornings' are devoted
to meetings where interesting talks are made
by men and women from all parts of the
world. Work is discontinued in the afternoon
and time is given to hiking, swimming, and to
playing tennis, baseball, volley ball, and other
games. After supper about forty-five minutes
is devoted to the meeting of the various dis-
cussion groups, into which the conference is*
divided. Then there is a lecture, after which
there is usually some kind of amusement, such
as story telling or singing. Last year, we had
Garibaldi, an educated native of Africa, tn tell
some very interesting stories of the Africans
and their superstitions.
Ten days spent at Blue Ridge are ten davs
of character building, of righteous training,
and of uplifting thought. If vou go to Blue
"Radge, vou will never regret it. and you will

CONFERENCES
Of course Blue Ridge is one of the besJt and
most popular conferences that is held in the
South by the Y. M. C. A. It is always well
attended by all the schools of the South and
has a most representative body of delegates.
But there are a number of other good confer-
ences' also that are held each year for students.
Among these conferences, there is the
Student Volunteer Conference held at some
place in the state, to which The Citadel always
sends delegates.
Once every four years a conference is held
somewhere in the United States of the Student
International Volunteer Movement. Year be-
fore last it was hied at Milwaukee. There are
other conferences which areheld from time to
time ,and The Citadel always tries to send
delegates to all of them..

THE CANTEEN
The canteen is a small srtore located in the
Main Barracks building. It is under the super-

cadet manager. It handles all kinds of sweets,
drinks, fruits, stationery, pennants, toilet arti-
cles, polish, etc. In short, almost everything
that a cadet needs on short notice is obtainable

at the canteen. The canteen takes the place
of a drug store for cadets when it is open and
is always crowded at open hours. Cadets
should remember that the profits from the can-
teen are used for athletics and for dances, and
that when they can obtain their needs at the
canteen it is their duty to do so before going
to town.

HISTORICAL SKETCH OF THE CITADEL
Previous to the year 1841, the State of
South Carolina had two depositories for its
arms and munitions of war: — The Citadel in
Charleston, and The Arsenal in Columbia.
These were guarded by companies of enlist-
ed men, with retained Officers, and were
maintained at an expense of twenty-four
thousand dollars per annum.
It was Gov. Richardson who made the
suggestion that these garrisons be replaced
by young men, who, while serving as guard,
should receive military tarining, and instruc-
tion in the practical and mechanical arts.
Under the administration of his successor,
Gov. Hammond, an Act of the Legislature
was passed in 1842 creating The Citadel and
Arsenal Academies.
The Board appointed by the Governor to
carry out the purpose of the Act lost no
time in performing theitf duty, and the Facul-
ty of The Citadel was elected on Feb. 23rd.
following. By March 20th both The Citadel
and The Arsenal were in operation.
In arranging the course of studies for The
Citadel, the report of the Board to the Gen-
eral Assembly says: The Board have aim-
ed at a system, of education at once scienti-
fic and practical and which, if their original
design is carried out, will eminently qualify
the cadets there taught for almost any station
and condition of life."
The Arsenal, at first co-equal with The
Citadel, was soon incorporaed with it, and
had for its special function the instruction
andtraining of recruits forming what was
known as the Fourth Class.
The first class, numbering six men, was
graduated in 1848. C. C. Tew, first honor
man of his class, afterwards founded the
Hillsboro Military Academy in North Caro-
lina, was Colonel of N. C. troops in the
Confederate Army, and killed at Sharpsburg,

THE PALMETTO
23
Sept. 1862, while commanding Anderson's
Brigade.
The vahie to the State of the military
^<uning given at The Citadel is strikingly
'n by the fact that, of the two hundred
forty graduates before the War between
tates, about two hundred were officers
e Confederate service, and forty three
aown their lives upon the battlefield.
Trie list of Citadel officers in that great con-
flict ia an honor roll of which/ any institution
may well be proud.
There are two dates in the history of the
State Military Academy which mark the
boundaries of this greatest military struggle
of the century. Between Jan. 9, 1861, and
May 9, 1865, what a tragic history was en-
acted!
On the former date, Maj. P. F. Stevens,
Superintendent, and a graduate of The Cit-
adel, in command of a detachment of Cit-
adel Cadets manning a battery of 24-pound-
ers on Morris Island, drove off the steamer,
"Star of the West," which was attempting
to relieve Fort Sumter thus firing the first
hostile shot of the War.
On the later date, Capt. J. P. Thomas,
Superintendent of The Arsenal, and also a
graduate of The Citadel, with the cadets of
his command, had a skirmish with Stone-
mans raiders near Wiliston, S. C, thus
firing the last shot of the War delivered by
any body of troops east of the Mississippi
River.
At the present time, the corps? of cadets has
an annual drill for the "Star of the West"
medal, a handsome trophy for the best-drilled
cadet of the corps, presented to the institution
many years ago by Dr. B. H. Teague, a
veteran of the War. This medal gets its
name from a piece of wood, in the form of a
star, taken from the historic vessel.
At the fall of Charleston, in February,
1865 .The Citadel was occupied by Federal
24 THE PALMETTO
troops. The corps of cadets was at that time
in the field in the upper part of the State,
and never returned to the institution, which
continued in the hands of the United States
military authorities, in spite of the best ef-
forts of the State to recover it, until 1881.
In that year Gov. Hagood said in his
annual message to the General Assembly :
"The State Military Academy at Charleston
has been suspended in its' operations since the
late Civil War. This has been due to the
fact that the building known as The Citadel
in which it has its seat, has been since the
close of the War in the possession of the
United States authorities, and has been used
by them until recntly as a military post.
"It is understood that the General Govern-
ment is now prepared to restore it to the
custody of the State. It is desirable that this
property be recovered, and again devoted to
the purpose of higher education, in/ the facili-
ties for which our needs are greater than the
source of supply."
An Act to authorize the re-opening of The
South Carolina Military Academy was passed
by the General Assembly and approved Janu-
ary 31, 1882.
The Citadel was re-opened on Oct. 1st,
1882, with 189 cadets', and has been in con-
tinuous and successful operation ever since.
In 1888 the sum of $77,250 was recovered
from Congress for the occupation of the
Citadel building by the Federal troops, and
for the destruction of the west wing by fire
while occupied by them. With this fund the
Wing way restored, and the building thor-
oughly equipped in its departments.
In 1908, the Central Police Station, which
was erected on the King Street end of the
Citadel property, just after the earthquake in
1886 ,was purchased by the State, and fitted
up for the use of the college.
THE PALMETTO 26
In 1910, the Legislature fixed the title of
the institution as "The Citadel,. The Mili-
tary College of South Carolina." In the
same year an appropriation was made for the
construction of the Meeting Street Extension
thus completing the design and furnishing
equipment for all the anticipated neds of the
institution.
But the college soon demanded larger quar-
ters and, to meet this need, in 1918, the
City of Charleston offered the State a mag-
nificent tract of nearly 200, acres of land ad-
jacent to Hampton Park, beautifully situ-
ated on the Ashley River, for a Greater
Citadel." he Legislature accepted the offer
and in 1918 and 1920 made appropriations
for the necessary buildings.
During the next two years the construc-
tion of the new plant was in progress, and
the session of 1922-23 opened in the com-
modious quarters which had been provided
at a cost of more than a million dollars.
The college facilities in laboratories and
classrooms have ben largely increased, dor-
mitory accommodations have been enlarged
forty per cent, and ample and beautiful
grounds for all military work and athletic
activities have been provided.
ASSOCIATION OF GRADUATESu
Since the year 1877, when it was first or-
ganized, the Association of Graduates has
worked unceasingly and has accomplished much
towards the expansion and general welfare of
The Citadel.
One does not have to be a graduate of The
Ciatdel to belong to the Association. Besides
graduates, all cadets who have been honorably
26 THE PALMETTO
discharged or have been permitted to resign
from The Citadel are eligible for membership.
It is the duty as well as the privilege of
every honorable ex-cadet to join this; organiza-
tion.
It is the piurpose of the Association to pro-
mote all things which will react to the good
interests of the Military College of South Caro-
lina. It is only through wholesome coopera-
tion that anything worthwhile can be accom-
plished, and, knowing this the Association
strives to stay perfectly organized so as to be
able to act as a unit at any time it may be
necessary. In this way all alumni and ex-
cadets are able to keep in touch with thier
Alma Mater, to stay informed of its successes
and troubles^ and to give a helping hand when
necessary.
The Association holds its annual banquet on
the night before Commencement. The mem-
bers of the graduating class each year are
invited to attend vo that they may all be to-
gether as a unit before going forth into the
world individually. At this banquet plans for
the ensuing year are discussed and plans are
made for the whole-hearted, cooperation of the
members in keeping the Citadel foremost in
their thoughts.
Members of the graduating class automati-
cally become members of the Association the
first year without paying any dues, but after
this year they are expected to pay the small
annual fee of two dollars, or twenty four dol-
lars for life membership.
Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work
in hand. The sun's rays do not burn until
brought to a focus.

Hie aim of the Citadel is to fit
students by discipline and study for
all the walks of civil life, and if
necessary to serve their country in
time of war.
Thoro courses in mathematics,
science, and languages offer an at-

who desire careers in professional

There is a lot of hard work at
The Citadel, but there is time pro-
vided for necessary play. Athletics,

THE PALMETTO
As this handbook goes to press there is no
Honor System, in name, at the Citadel. Last i
year during the second term at a meeting of
the entire Corps, it was voted to do away with
the Honor System because under prevailing
conditions it was not serving its ttfue purpose
and was doing as much harm as benefit.
Whether an Honor Code will be drawn up by
the Board of Visitors which will suit the aim
and purpose of an honor system at the Ciatdel
is to be determined by future happenings, but
as it is the Corps awaits their action.
However, it is not for one minute to be
thought that there is no honor at thA Citadel.
As a matter of fact cadets are even more care-
ful of their actions now than they were while
the Honor System was in practice in the
school. The vote to abolish the honor system
has impressed on the corps a desire to avoid
even the appearance of a violation of honor
more than any Honor Committee ever had or
probably ever will. It is now a question of
personal character, and each cadet does his
best to convince his fellow cadets that he is an
honorable gentleman. Without honor, the
Citadel would be unable to exist. Honor at
this institution has always been one of its
most cherished possessions and always will.
The Citadel thrived and grew before the in-
stallation of the Honor System and there is no
reason why it should not continue to grow and
expand without any system except a gentle-
man's honor.
A man who does not know how to learn
from his own mistakes turns the best school-
Trpster crit of his life.
The most remarkable thin.or about Pythian
insurance is the peace of mind it brings to
those possessing it.
30 THE PALMETTO
INTERPRETATION OF REGULATIONS).
The following is a list of interpretations of
regulations accepted by the corps of cadets.
The high spirit of honor of the corps demands
that these be maintained :
1. "All Right Sir" on coming on sen-
tinels post. After reporting "All right sir"
on coming on sentinels' posts, one cannot
break barracks or visit ; i. e., if you are going
to the latrine or other authorized place on
authorized business, and some one calls you av
you pass his room, you can find out what he
wants, (this is punishable by military author-
ity), or if you are in the latrine or anywhere
else on authorized business, yc*u may talk to
other boys after you have finished. One can-
not throw things on the quadrangle after re-
porting "All right sir." One cannot report
and go to the cadet canteen to get things dur-
ing unathorized hours. Loitering is military
offence.
NOTE :— After a cadet reports, this report
holds good until he returns to his room.
2. The report "All right sir" at the in-
spection of the first relief means that all
occupants of the room are in, or officially
absent, and that no one is visiting in the
room.
3. At the inspection of the second and
third relief, the report meant,' that no one is
visiting in the room.
4. When a sentinel reports "All is well",
on being relieved, this means that he has
reported all cadets, who at any time during
his tour of duty, have visited across his poEJfc
in so far as he knows ; also that he has re-
quired all cadets to report "All right, sir"
on coming on his post and has reported all
those who failed to do so : also that he has
made the required inspections and has re-
ported all cadets visiting at those times. In
case of the first relief it also means that he
has reported all unofficial absentees. In
THE PALMETTO
31
case the lights are off in any room, a sen-
tinel is required to turn them on and in-
spect the room, to see that no one is visiting
there. "All right s«ir" or any deceiving report
is* a violation of the honor code.
5. DANCE LEAVE. When a cadet re-
ports "All right sir" when returning from a
dance ,he signifies that he has complied with
the following rules:
a. That he was at the dance at 12 midnight
and that he did not thereafter leave the dance
except to return to the Citadel or as covered
in "b" below.
b. If a cadet has a lady at a dance, he
has one hour after the dance breaks up to
use as he s'ees fit, or if he leaves before the
dance is over, he must report back by the
end of general leave, or one hour after he
laeves the dance, as the case may be. If
the cadet does not have a lady at the dance,
he has 15 minutes after the dance is over.
He can use this 15 minutes1 to return to bar-
racks.
6. A cadet having a car may report on
using dance leave "with lady" in order to
carry another couple to a dance.
7. A cadet in charge of any detail is honor
bound to report for that deatil.
8. Any man receiving a report officially is
honor bound to enter the report.
9. rn event of any member of the guard,
regardless of the capacity in which he is
serving .admitting cadets through any sally-
port, he is on his* honor to report the time
of the arrival of such cadets.
10. Sentinels shall be on their honor to re-
port breaches of the following offenses : _
a. Visiting across sentinel's post.
b. Unable to report on gallery*
32 THE PALMETTO
ft. He shall challenge all cadets coming cm
his post at all times and report all disorder.
11. The Officer of the day and Officers of
the Guard are on their honor to report all
violations of regulations which come under
their observation, except in the following case:
when an Officer of the Day or Officer of the
(tuard goes to his room at any time other than
an official inspection, he is not honor bound to
report his roommate for a breach of regula-
tions committed in their room.
NOTE : The Officer of the Day and Offi-
cers of the Guard are on their honor to report
any violation of regulations outside of their
room which they may see while in their room.
THE ROUND TABLE
Feeling the need of some sort of organiza-
tion to take the place of the inactive literary
society at the Citadel, a group of cadets, select-
ed by the Faculty from the various academic
departments on a basis of scholarship, or-
ganized The Round Table with the aid of Lt.
Lyon. The purpose of this organization as
stated in its constitution is to promote an
interest in all things intellectual. The new
members will be selected towards the end of
each year by the Fadulty and club members.
The method of programs for the club is dif-
ferent from that usually followed by the liter-
ary society. In the Round Table each member
is notified of the topic for discussion. At the
meetings the discussion is lead by one member.
After the leader's talk the members enter the
discussion. This method permits every mem-
ber to take part each week and. since the
topics are the foremost of the day, much bene-
fit is derived from these discussions.

THE SON
(By Edgar A. Guest)
I am the son of one who dreamed,
And toiled for me and planned and schemed.
But I was such a youngster then,
And couldn't read the eyes of men.
I only know he smiled on me
And talked of times that were to be.
He'd feel my muscles, leg and arm,
As if for him they held a charm.
And I would laugh and romp and tease
And ride away upon his knees.
I could not read the thoughts which he
So bravely tried to hide from. me.
Nor grasp the weight of all he told,
For I was* only twelve years old.
But now I understand and know
I was his hope of long ago.
Those eyes of his looked far to see
The grown-up man that I should be.
That counseling I laughed to hear
Comes back today with meaning clear.
And now I wonder can it be
That I'm the man he longed to see.

THE ESSENTIAL
(By Berton Braley)
If you are courteous at heart
You'll need no book of etiquette.
You may not do the thing that's "smart"
You'll blunder now and then, and yet
In any crowd, in any set,
You'll get along well from the start.
Of manners far the greater part
Is courtesy. You needn't fret,
If you are courteous at heart
You'll need no book of etiquette.
And if your words are kind, not tart,
Your deeds considerate, you'll get
Smiles from the yhop girl or sotubrette
And bows from fortune's pampered pet.
If you are courteous at heart
You'll need no book of etiquette.
You may not know the finest art
Of greeting people you have met,
But any place upon the chart
From Oskaloosa to Thibet,
At Table d'hote or a la carte
Reception, ball, or luncheonette
With roughneck or Sir Hubert, Bart.
You'll need no book of etiquette
If you are courteous at heart.
36 THE PALMETTO
THE CHURCHES OF OUR CITY.
Cadets, you will find a cordial welcome at
any and all churches in the city of Charles-
ton. The pastors are anxious to meet you,
and don't ever fail to wait after service and
speak to a minister. Possibly he knows your
folks back at home and has received a letter
from them asking his prayers and guidance
in your behalf while you remain at The Cita-
del.
Before we moved out here, there was an
opportunity given each cadet to join any
church he wished, and these groups were
marched to the respective churches on Sun-
days. However, it's a good ways to town now,
and it has been necessary to have regular
chapel services out here, to which every one
must attend, then you are priviliged to attend
the church of your choice. Chapel is held
very early for this purpose, and it will be fine
if you will let the Secretary affiliate you with
a local church, which means that your mem-
bership is not affected at home, but yolu are
just anchored, as it were, to a local church
whose pastor will take as much interest in
you as possible.
The churches of Charleston are numbered
amongst the oldest in America, and it will not
be amiss if you take several hours off and
look them over. Be sure to go to chJurch
every Sunday 1

man standing alone into the strength of thou-

THE PALMBTCTO
FOOTBALL.
45
During the past fall The Citadel possessed
what Coach Carl Prause called, "The best j
football team I have ever coached 1" And that
is saying considerable, for the tall mentor
has* turned out many wonderful gridiron out-
fits.
In 1927 ,the Bull Dogs faced probably the
most difficult schedule that ever confronted a
Blue and White team, and the record that
was made, though not as brilliant as the
memorable season of 1926, showed very credi-
table results. Of the ten games on the card,
3 were won, 6 lost by very slim margins, and
one ended in a tie.
The first three games were played in as
many states. The Citadel opened the season
by losing to Davidson College, in Gastonia, N.
C. 5 — 0. The next week, most of the Cadet
Corps accompaneid the team to Savannah, and
though Citadel made many more first downy
than Mercer, 'Phony' Smith, Bear half-back,
made the only touchdown. The following Sat-
urday Citadel lost to the powerful University
of Chattanooga eleven in the Tennessee city.
Then, the Bull Dogs defeated the Oglethorpe
Petrels, 19 — 0, in the initial contest in Char-
leston, when the new athletic stadium was
dedicated in honor of General Johnson Hagood.
The Newberry Indians fell 27 — 0 the next week,
On the annual pilgrimage The Citadel makes
to Orangeburg, to play the University of
South Carolina, the Gamecocks though com-
pletely outplayed, lucked a long pass for a
touchdown and won 6 — 0, completely upset-

ting the dope. Clemson came to Charleston
next, and downed the fighting Bull Dogs, 13 — 0
displaying a very powerful offense. Wofford
and The Citadel battled to a 6 — 6 tie, although
the Cadets made double their opponents first
downs*. On Home-Coming Day, the Cadets
played their best game of the season and
out-fought Furman all the way, only to lose,
6 — 0, when Blount . dashed 50 yards for a
touchdown. The Citadel ended the yaer by
triumphing over P. C, 7 — 6, on Thanksgiving
Day in Charleston.
Outstanding among the many who received
block "C's" were: Capt. Don Blanding,
Teddy Hutchinson, Lionel Ingram, Dick
Brown, Gene Figg, Tom Howie and Heinie
Duvall. Bull King, tackle, and Dick King
end, (Captain-elect for 1928), were selected
on the mythical "All-State" team. Others*
who won letters include Wilson, Reeder, Fer-
guson, Thompson, Wideman, Sinkler, Harris
Armstrong, Willard, Arnold, Brandenburg,
and Manager Bell.
Many of the men graduated last June, but
with the good material from, the Freshman
team which won handily from P. C. and
Newberry, tied Benedictine College, and lost
to Carolina and Furman a neraly new outfit
is to represent The Citadel on the gridiron
this year. A very extensive and intensive
spring practice proved quite successful, and it
hoped The Citadel will finish on top in 1928.
Go get 'em, Bucks I !
You can't be a howling success by simply

BASKETBALL— 1928.
The Citadel enjoyed a very successful bas-
ketball season last year, losing only to Merrer,
Furman, Carolina and to Birmigham-South-
ern, by a one-point margin, in Chattanooga,
at the 4th annual S. I. A. A. Tournament.
The Bull Dogs were not defeated during the
season in Charletson and won most of the
games by substantial margins.
The Citadel started off the schedule in true
championship style, winning the first three
contests, one a decisive triumph over the Caro-
lina Gamecocks, 47 — 28. The Quint journeyed
into Georgia and lost to Mercer University in
two hard fought games. The next week-end
the Blue and White downed Oglethorpe and
and the following night defeated Furman, in
a thrilling extra period affair, 42 — 41, which
reminded every one of the Mercer game in the
finals of the S. I. A. A. Tournament which
the Cadets won in 1927.
The Bull Dogs? won consecutively from, P. C,
Newberry, and Davidson in Alumni Hall. On
the annual up-state trip the Cadet cagemen
lost to Carolina and Furman, but won from
Wofford, P. C. and Newberry easily.
The last games at home were briliant con-
tests, in which the Blue and White defeated
Wofford and the College of Charleston. The
Citadel thus won the privilege of entering the
S. I. A. A. Tourney, with Furman, as South
Carolina's representatives', and for the first
time was not one of the teams participating
in the finals. But, a team canot be expected
to win always, and unfortunately, the Bull
Dogs, defending Champs, lost to the Alabama
institution by one-point, the same margin by
which they won the Title in 1927.
48
THE PALMETTO
The Citadel made a total of 745 points in
18 games, for an average of 41 points* per
game. The highest team score was 69 points
tallied against Wofford. "Whiskey" Johnson
was individual high-scorer with a total of 252
markers. Weeks, Reeder, and Willard all made
over 125 each.
Capt. Gene Figg was a power of defence at
guard, but, unfortunately was pursued with
injuries, being unable to play in several games,
but Epps, who took his place, did excellent
work. Johnson, Reeder, Weeks, and Willard
formed one o fthe fastest passing crews ever
to wear the Blue and White cage uniform.
They all deserve worlds of credit for their
wonderful playing. The other men who re-
ceived letters, Dwight, Tiedemann, Daniel, and
Armstrong, all showed great ability, and put
up good exhibitions when they got in the
game. Coach Benny Blatt turned out a truly
great team.
Billy Willard, of Spartanburg, flashy run-
ning guard, is Capt.-elect, and as only Figg,
Reeder, and Armstrong graduate in 1928, and
Bedell, Vandiver, Ewing, Rogers*, Brown,
Chapman, Ellerbe, and Averb-uck of the fresh-
man team will be available, prospects are fine
for 1929.

And it must follow the night the day,
Thou cans't not then be false to any man.
THE PALMETTO
BASEBALL.
49
The Citadel baseball team experienced the
most unsuccessful season in many years in the
spring of 1928 from a standpoint of games
won. The Cadet diamond dusters just ccrfuld
not "get going" together, and this spasmodic
display of talent at times, coupled with a
weak pitching staff, was the cause of the de-
feats. The Bull Dogs won the first game of
the season, then lost all the remainder on the
schedule.
On March 30, Coach Matthews outfit handily
downed P. C, on the local diamond, 8 to 4.
The following wek-end they started losing,
being victims of the Marines at Parris Island
twice, and Newberry before returning to Char-
leston, where another contest was dropped to
Clemson. Furman won easily the next Sat-
urday1. The Bfcill Dogs lost to Wofford twice,
Carolina, Furman, Erskine, and P. C. on the
second excursion away from home. Then they
lost the final game in Charleston to New-
berry ,to end an unglorious and disastrous
season.
The letter men were Tom Howie, diminutive
shortstpo and Captain ; Duncan, Hutchison,
Murphy, infielders ; Read, Parler, Newton,
SJuber, Barnes, outfielders ; Boylston, Crow,
catchers: Griffin, Livingston, Wilson, pitch-
ers.
GOLF.
Though there is no regular golf course laid
out on the campus, many enthusiasts of the
elub game play nearly every afternoon upon
an improvised course. The Citadel has not had
golf team since Francis Ford won the In-
tercollegiate honor of this district, several
years ago, when he was a Cadet. However,
though the authorities might not approve,
quite a nice little six or seven hole golf course
50 THE PALMETTO
could be laid out conveniently on the college
grounds. There are quite a number of cadets
who play often, and would no doubt be in
favor of making a small permanent course on
The Citadel grounds, which wcHuld increase the
interest in this sport a great deal.
VOLLEY BALL.
The three volley ball courts which were con-
structed behind the Murray Barracks building
have seen constant service. The Citadel "Y"
built and maintains them for the use of the
Cadets. Many a spirited and thrilling contest
is played out there each afternoon. Mostly
the boys' that do not go out for the major
sports are participants in these games. It
affords plenty of healthful outdoor exercise,
and is a popular pastime with a large num-
ber of the Corps.
TRACK.
In reecnt years there has been at The Citadel
an almost shameful lack of interest and mate-
rial for any track activities, but prospects1 for
this year's aquad appear very promising. Dan
Sinkler was elected Captain and practices on
the newly laid out cinder path at Johnson
Ha good Stadium were indulged in every after-
noon by the men under the instruction of
Coach Bar field. Several dual meets have been
scheduled with state institutions, and a team
will most probably be sent to the annual meet
at Clinton, but we go ot preas too soon to
print the results, although it is felt that the
Cadet Track Team will account for itself in a
very creditable manner.
THE PALMETTO
51
SWIMMING.
The Citadel's prospects for a championship
tank team appeared excellent in the spring of
1928, and much interest in this sport was dis-
played by the Cadets. A scjuad of rare ability
was rounded into fine condition by Coach
Julius Anderson, and negotiations were at-
tempted to arrange meets with various insti-
tutions in the Carolinas and Georgia.
The first meet of the marine season was
with the Cadets of the Schoolship "Anna-
polis", of Pennsylvania, who were outclassed
by the Bull Dogs, and defeated by the score of
47 to 18. The Cadet Swimmers next invaded
the "Peach" state and encountered Georgia
Tech in Atlanta. The Blue and White was
downed, but not drowned, and made a fine
showing against Tech's great team. The
Cadets won several first and second places,
but not enough to win. The score was 42 to
21. The U. S. S. Arkansas, Champs of the
Atlantic Fleet met the Bull Dogs next in
Charleston and were decisively whipped, 43 to
12. The Cadets were at almost top, form, and
iost only one first place to the Sailors.
So far the swimming of Scofield has at-
tracted a great deal of favorable comment.
This boy tied the Southern record for the
backstroke in Atlanta, and does the 100yd.
free style in fast time too. Lionel Ingram
was Captain last year and did diving and the
breaststroke. John Bull swam the 220 and
440 well, as did Whitsett. Bill Jones and
Garwees swam the 100 free style. Sherfeesee
did the back and breast strokes. Siau and
Htelfreich did 50 and diving. Skelton swam
the 220 and relay. Others in the relay were
Siau, Helfreich, and Jones or Scofield. The
entire squad with the exception of Ingram
will be back in 1929.

TENNIS.
Tennis at The Citadel was a very popular
sport last year, and is indulged in by many
cadets all the year. The coiurts on the campus
are crowded to capacity every afternoon, and
it is hoped that in the near future aditionai
courts can be constructed to accommodate the
increased number of the corps who play ten-
nis.
The Bull Dog Net Team made very creditable
showings in tneir matches locally and also up-
state. The season opened with the Cadets de-
feating the U. S. S. Arkansas, then the Col-
lege of Charletson on the City "Y" courts.
They lost to the experienced Carolina Yaoht
Cjjub outfit on their courts, but soon after met
Wofford at the Country Club and tied the
Methodists by beautiful playing.
On the trip through the state, the Cadets
were nosed out in close matches with Carolina
and Furman, losing both 4 to 2. They de-
cisively cJbwned Clemson and Newberry, and |
tied P. C. before returning to Charleston.
The Blue and White team leaves for Colum-
bia as this book goes to press, to enter the
tdurnament to decide the State Collegiate
Championships. Several other dual meets are
scheduled to be played in Charleston later in
the season.
Frank Porter was Citadel's No. 1 man, fol-
lowed by Abie Steele, Dave Dwight, and Jack
Nettles. Porter — Dwight and Kerr — Nettles
were the doubles pairs. Porter, Dwight, and
Nettles did well in the singles, while Captain
Kerr and Nettles won most of the doubles
matches. The latter lost only one match all
season.
54 THE PALMETTO
COLLEGE NIGHT.
Each year one night is set aside for the
general enjoyment of every member of the
corps. This night is called "college night",
and it comes shortly after the beginning of
the school year. At this time the messhall is
bedecked in a beautiful dress of blue and
white, and the tables are covered with deli-
cious food prepared under the direction of
Mis. Avinger.
The affair is attended by many Alumni and
by some members of the Board of Visitors and
the coaching staff. Speeches are made by
Colonel Bond, by the various coaches, the cap-
tains of the athletic teams, the editors of the
Sphinx and Bull Dog, and by some members
of the faculty, and alumni. Each speaker
cites the prospects that The Citadel has in his
line of endeavor.
Then, too, the freshmen learn what it meanB
to be a Citadel man. They realize that the
far-famed 'Bull Dog" spirit of which they
have heard so much, is not merely a myth,
but a wonderful reality. Upon leaving the
messhall every "rat" feels himself to be more
acquainted with the school and its inner work- j
ings. He finds that he has become thoroughly
imbued with a school spirit that will count for
much in his college and later life. That spirit
will never die, for the slogan "Once a Citadel j
man, always a Citadel man " will forever |
sustain it.
FENCING.
Fencing was a new sport introduced into
the many activites at The Citadel in 1927-28.
The majority of the Corps did not take much '
interest in it, probably because they were not
familiar with it and knew little about it.
However Professor Gillardo and Major Mc-
THE PALMETTO
65
Elwee coached several as«pirmg foil artists
along and eveloped among them some very
good fencers.
A Fencing Club was formed, consisting of
about thirty members, and McCarthy and
Ward wer elected President and Secretary -
Treasurer. By virtue of elimination contests
a team was selected to represent The Citadel
in matches with other colleges. This team was
compsoed of McCarhty, Captain ; Ward, J.»
Manager, and McHugh, Powell, Clare. The
Southern Fencing Tourney, held in Charleston
last year was very interesting. McHugh won
second place in individual title matches. The
team lo&t to the College of Charleston and
Carolina by close scores.
INDOOR BASEBALL TOURNAMENT.
Tn the spring of 1927, The Citadel "Y" in-
augurated the annual "Indoor" Baseball Tour-
nament, which has proved exceeding popular
with the Corps* in the last two years.. The
games are played out of doors, however, on
four regulation sized diamonds, but with an
indoor ball, and without gloves.
The Regimental Championship in 1927 was
won by the Band's team, which defeated Co.
"C" in the finals. Co. "C" won the 1928 title,
beating out Co. "D" in the finals.
The Regiment is divided into two Leagues,
the Artillery, consisting of the Band and Com-
panies "E", "F*V 'G", and "H", and the In-
fantry composed of the Staff and Companies
"A", *B", "C", and "D". Each taem en-
counters every other team in its circuit at
least once, and then the two winning nines
play for the "Y" Pennant.
The contests are usually well played and are
featured by heavy hitting by both sides. The
pastime is very popular and is good sport and
exercise, too.
56 THE PALMETTO
"PASS - IN - REVIEW"
During* the spring of every year, the Char-
leston Citadel Club presents a show, in which
those members' of the Cadets Corps who have
proper talent and theatrical aspirations, com-
pose the cast of performers. The 1928 "Pass-
In-Review" was financially successful and
much enjoyed by the large audiences that saw
the production in Charleston, Conway, Flor-
ence, Columbia, Mullins, and Anderson.
Last year the show was given in two parts.
The first part, based upon a "Radioland"
theme included some special arangemnts of
popular music, both '"hot" and '"sweet"" by the
'"Citadel Bull Dogs" orchestra, a perfectly
executed Silent Drill, some Original mono-
logue comedy, close harmony by the Blue and
White Quartet, excellent piano solos, and a
variety of clog dancing steps by Fred Knob-
lauch and Ed. Haselden. The last half was a
military minstrel circle, featuring many popu-
lar songs, and mirthful jokes by the black-
faced endmen, which went well. The' personel
of the show was as follows: Minstrel — Frank
Tompkins, interlocutor. Perrin Smith, Tom
Stevenson, Nap Vandiver, Osmond Brown, and
John Carrington, sweet singers ; George Nel-
son, whistler ; Ed. Haselden, Jim Calhoun,
Shorty O'Neal, Charlie Johnson, and "Red" —
Carter and Brandenburg. Bill Carlisle played
the piano accompaniments and solos. The
quartet included Jim Calhoun, Roy Hart, Clyde
McWhiter, and Bob Goodwin. The Silent
Drill, commanded by Jenx Harris, was picked
from the rest* of the cast. Those in Cliff Mc-
Clure's Bull Dogs, led by Reo O'Brien, were
Pete Kershaw, John Bull, Werky Harell, Fin-
kelstein, Youmans, McWhirter, Wallace, Good-
win, and Brown.
The production was directde by J. E. De-
Rain and managed by Chas. Jervey.

ORCHESTRAL
La&t vear The Citadel had the best orchestra
it has boasted in several years. Under the
able direction of Cliff McClure, "The Citadel
Bull Dogs" Orchestra devleoped into an or-
ganization that* compared most favorably with
any in the state. The crew consisted of ten
very competent musicians, who furnished
always' an excellent brand of dance music, both
"hot" and "sweet" numbers.
The "Bull Dogs" played for all the Messhall
Dances, two of which were held each month,
and most of the dnaces given by the Alumni
Association, Charleston Citadel Club, and the
"Sphinx". Their interpretations fo the popu-
lar hits and fecial arangements of certain
numbers met with much approval, and was
pleasing to the dancers* always. Often Reo
O'Brien would ascend to the platform ' and
direct the orchestra, continualy causing the
crowd that stopped dancing to watch plenty of
amusement, at his corneal antics, which were
ludricrous' to behold.
The personal of "The Citadel Bull Dogs" last
year was as follows: Cliff McClure, director,
trumpet, Pete Kershaw, manger, piano ; Clyde
McWhirter, music arranger, bass ; Lewis You-
mans, trombone. John Bull, reeds Werky
Harrell, reeds ; Lester Finklestein, reeds ; Bob
Goodwin, banjo ; Rufus Brown, drums ; John
Wallace, trumpet. They all will return to
play again this year, and should be better
than ever.
CITADEL INFLUENCE
Occasionally when a group of people are
confined into a sort of family group as at the
Citadel, some members of the group are likely
to get the impression that the otatsride world
is unaware of its existence. The corps should
never allow this idea to take hold of them. At
68 THE PALMETTO
all times they should act as though they were
passing in review before the eyes of the world
The influence of the Citadel is known to be
wide, but last year this influence unexpectedly
was felt at the University of Florida. The
commandant of that school, being at the
Citadel with Fourth Corps Area officers, was
impressed by the exceptional military bearing
of an orderly whom the commandant called to
his office and by the military system of the
Citadel in general. Last year the commandant
of the Florida institution sent the nine ranking
men from his school to observe the Citadel
system. These men stayed here several days
and returned with a good knowledge of the
Citadel system. Always be at a perfect eyes
right because you are continually passing in
review before the eyes of the world.

THE LIBRARY
A library is a necessary part of every col-
lege. It is the final resort for all those who
really seek knowledge on some specific subject
or branch of work. We come to college to get
a foundation in many different subjects on
which to bfciild and to learn just where we can
secure further information on any subject in
which we become interested. We find that the
library is the one place that can tell us any-
thing and everything, and that the secret of
education lies in the ability to use the contents'
of a good library to the best advantage.
The Citadel library is located on the ground
floor in the front part of the Main Barracks.
In it are found works of all kinds, history,
science, classics ; in general, sufficient in-
formation on any subject which one needs to
be call well educated and cultured. Besides
there are also found the most important news-
papers, magazines, and other periodic publica-
tions* of current events and everyday happen-
ings. Good fiction and other recreational read-
ings are also fo'und. You will spend a good
part of your college life in the librray, so learn
how to us<e it and get the utmost from It.
THE BULL DOG
Every college has its periodic publication by
the student body. The Bull Dog is The Citadel
newspaper and is published by a staff, com-
posed of men who are interested in such work,
every Friday. Tn it are all accounts of col-
lege athletics, campus events, dances, alumni
news, editorials expressing school sentiment,
in general everything that is of interest to
college mon. Every cadet gets a copy and the
paper has a wide circulation through the state
as well as outside.

OUR MILITARY RECORD
The Citadel, The Military College of South
Carolina, although at first established as a
depositary for arms and munitions of war,
is now a college that ranks' high in both its
military and academic lines of instruction.
While the academic duties of the cadets have
been of first importance since the institution
has become a college, it has a military record
of which it, or any other institution, may well
be proud. Since the establishment of the col-
lege in 1842, the Citadel alumni and cadets*
have played prominent parts in the history
of the state, and indeed in some cases, im-
portant parts in the history of the nation.
Their services were invaluable to their state
in that deadly struggle, the "War Between the
States ; and invaluable to the nation in the
latter and fiercer conflict. The World War. The
lk't of Citadel officers in both of these wars is
an honor-roll of which any institution of in-
struction, and any state, should be proud.
Citadel men have fought for the state on the
field of battle, they have fought for the state
in time of peace, and they are still fighting
and will continue to fight with all their might
for the good of the state and nation.
The training which the cadets receive has
met the heartiest commendation of the War
Department, which has for many years rated
the institution as a "Distinguished College."
The value of the training to the country is
recognized by the government, which fur-
nishes expensive equipment and details com-
petent army officers for the instruction of
the Cadets in the Infantry and Artillery Units
of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps. Tho
THE PALMETTO
67
worth of this instruction in the duties of the
soldier, the science of war, the evolution of
the line, and the duties of commissioned offi-
cers, is shown by the actions of the men in
actual combat.
The complete and generous education which
the cadets receive at the Citadel fits them
to perform skillfully and justly all the of-
fices of a citizen, both private and public,
in time of peace and in time of war. The
regular habits, the attention to duty, the obe-
dience to authority, and the love of order
instilled into the cadets enable them to live
lives of value and worth to mankind. The
Citadel releases men into the world who are
proud of their Alma Mater, and the Citadel
has certainly had every reason to be proud
of its alumni.
"STAR OF THE WEST" MEDAL
Each year the Corps of Cadets holds a
competitive drill in the manual of arms for
the "Star of the West" Medal, a handsome
trophy presented to the institution many years
ago by Dr. B. H. Teague, a veteran of the
Civil War. This medal gets its name from a
piece of wood, in the shape of a star, taken
from the historic vessel of the same name.
To wear this medal is an honor indeed.
THE "WILLSON RING"
This ring, given each year by Dr. John O.
Willson, late president of Lander College,
is awarded to the member of the Senior Class
voted by his classmates "the purest, most

MORALE
By Dr. Frank Crane
Morale is a military term. It means the
spirit or general feeling of the troops. When
soldiers are all united in purpose and enthusi-
astic and determined, they can easily conquer
disheartened foes. Morale is just as necessary
in a business as in an army. When we all
love our work, are enthusiastic about the busi-
ness, are not jealous and contentions and work
cheerfully together, we can accomplish great
results.

GO WHERE YOU BELONG.
If you can't raise your hat to Old Glory with
pride ;
If your heart is not stirred when she flies ;
If yotu don't feel your soul like a surging flood-
tide
Within you in ecstasy rise ;
If you don't like our folks, or our lawn, or
our ways,
We can spare you from here for the rest of
your days —
: Don't say so in story or song,
Just go back to where you belong!
, There's only one flag to be cherished and flung
< To the breeze on American soil ;
There's ony one strain in American song,
When sung by American toil.
'Tis the flag of the free, and the song of the
brave-
Rings clearly from, hearts true and strong!
If you must bear the flag of the conscienceless
' knave
Then go back to where you belong.
Take the red flag away, for Americans true
Stand pat for Old Glory for aye I
They swear by the folds of the Red, White, and
Blue-
Beneath it they're ready to die!
M the gangrene of hate possesses your soul
And yatu run with the anarchist throng,
Just call for the reds to gather their toll
And go to where they belong!
Let us stand in America, brothers' of men !
Let us sweep, out the vermin of hate!
With our pulses in unison beating again,
America, strong, true and great,
In the coming of years will conquer the world
With the wealth of a wonderful love ;
And Old Glory, effulgent, in honor unfurled,
Shall float in the azure above.

MY CREED.
'To live as gently as I can,
To be, no matter where, a man ;
To take what comes of good otf ill,
And cling to faith and honor still ;
To do my best and let that stand
The record of my brain and hand ;
And then, shall failure come to me,
To work and hope for victory.
"To have no scret place wherein
I stoop unseen to shame or sin ;
To be the same when I'm alone
As when my every ^ deed is known ;
To live undaunted/ unafraid
Of any step, that I have made ;
To be without pretense or sham
Exactly what men think I am.
'To leave some simple mark behind
That will inspire some other mind.
If opposition I must show,
To be an honest, generous foe ;
To play my little part, nor whine
That greater honors are not mine ;
This, I believe is all I need
To put within my New Year's creed."

Life is sweet just bceause of the friends we
have) made, and the things which in com-
mon we s'hare,
We want to live on, not because of ourselves,
but because of the people who care.
It's giving and doing for somebody else— on
that all life's splendor depends.
And the joy of this world, when we've sum-
med it all up, is found in the making of
friends'.
— Anonymous.
THERE ARE OTHERS
If times are hard, and you feel blue*
Think of others, worrying, too.
Just because your trials are many,
Don't think others haven't any.
Life's made up of smiles and tears,
Joys and sorows1, mixed with fears.
And though to you it seems one-sided,
Trouble is pretty well divided.
If we could look in every heart,
We'd find that each one has its part,
And those who travel Fortune's road,
Sometimes carry the biggest load.
—Exchange.
LIVING.
We live in deeds — not years in thoughts not
breath ;
In feelings, not in figjures on a dial.
We should count time by heart throbs.
He most lives
Who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the
best.

A SONG OF SERVICE
By Marguerite Few
If all my pain.
And all my tears,
And all that I have learnt
Through all the years,
Could make one single perfect song
To right some wrong ;
To lift some fallen haed
To light some darkened mind,
I shokild feel that not in vain
I served mankind.
If all my Joys,
And all my laughter,
Could give one single soul
Faith in hereafter.
If all the radiant things I see
Known but to me,
Could give a half-life strength,
Lend sight to stricken eyes,
I should know I helped the world
Glimpse Paradise.

MYSELF.
I have to live with myself, and so
I want to be fit for myself to know ;
I want to be able as the days go by*
Always to look myself straight in the eye
I don't want to stand with the setting sun
And hate myself for the things I've done,
I don't want to keep on a closet shelf
A lot of secrets about myself,
And fool myself as I come and go
Into thinking that nobody else will know
The kind of a man I really am ;
I don't want to dress myself tap in sham.
I want to go out with my head erect
I want to deserve all men's respect.
But in the struggle for fame and pelf
I want to be able to like myself.
I don't want to think as I come and go
That I'm bluster and bluff and empty show.
I never can hide myself from me,
I see what others may never see. ,
I know what others may never know
I never can fool myself, and so
Whatever happens, I want to be
Self-respecting adn conscious free.

MOTHER O' MINE
If I were hanged on the highest hill,
Mother o' mine, O' mother o' mine!
I know whose love would follow me still*
Mother o' mine, O* mother o' mine!
If I were drowned in the deepest sea,
Mother o' mine, O' mother o* mine!
I know whose tears would come down to me,
Mother o' mine, O' mother o' mine !
If I were damned of body and soul,
Mother o' mine, O* mother o' mine!
I know who&'e prayers would make me whole,
Mother o' mine, O* mother o' mine!
— Rudyard Kipling.
THE JOY OF LIVING.
If nobody smiled, and nobody cheered, and
nobody helped us along —
If each, every minute looked after himself, and
the good things all went to the strong?—
If nobody cared, just a little for you, and
nobody cared for me,
And we all stood alone, in the battle of life,
what a dreary old world it wduld be.
